It could be in tthehe future, only source or only way in many places around the globe as the most sustainable way of keeping children in education during dire situation.

Please give information about the key objectives of your initiative in terms of aesthetics and quality of experience for people (through design, positive emotions and cultural benefits) and how these have been met. Please highlight how the initiative can be exemplary in this context.
This is very new concept of Neon used in book publishing however there are heavily presence of its uses for fun and entertainment in cultural setting such as,arts and design printing in wall in and social and cultural setting to bring and uplift positive emotion of the public. The textile printing could be used for commercial purposes The main objective of Riesunbook is sustainability of economy and green transition.

Please give information about the key objectives of your initiative in terms of inclusion (ranging from accessibility and affordability for all to inclusive governing systems, design for all principles or new societal models) and how these have been met. Please highlight how the initiative can be exemplary in this context.
Though the concept is focused on children education, I cannot emphasize more in inclusion of public and private company as well as governmental bodies during unforseen circumstances. Neon can be found in nature and it's accessibility can be limited . Ukraine and many other countries are major supplier of neon. Affordability depends on accessibility and supply Vs demand. Due to its efficacy in green transition, Riesunbook will be major innovation in new societal model.

Please explain the way citizens benefiting from or affected by the initiative and civil society have been/will be involved in the initiative and what has been/will be the impact of this involvement on the initiative

Please explain how different stakeholders at various levels (local, regional, national, European) were engaged in the design and implementation of the initiative.
By education and programme like this, will make all aware of the innovative ideas and opportunities during unforseen eventuality. Form the production and manufacturing and implementation of innovation will be challenging . All stakeholders at all levels should be engaged and proactive in developing, mining, importing neon and building environment for neon based book in market.. One of the important task will be affiliation and collaboration in technology for publisher to use innovative product. As soon as manufacturing setting is established, Riesunbook can be available in all groups and individuals who are suffering from light deficiency specially in war and natural disaster affected countries.
